Research shows that:
- Physically attractive workers earn up to 15% more than those considered less or unattractive
- The beauty pay gap is larger for men than for women
- Good looking employees benefit their employer, especially if their job demands interaction with customers or clients, because people prefer to interact with attractive people
- The beauty gap starts in childhood with beautiful children attracting more attention and developing more confidence than their "plainer" peers
- Good-looking people are paid higher wages to do the same jobs as less attractive peers
- Attractive people receive far more call-backs for interviews, indicating employers judge that plainer applicants will be less capable in their jobs
